Let’s get a leapling baby!

I am child of bewilderness. I make hundred plans and cancel several thousand others every day. I may take ages to make a simple decision like choosing my mobile number but do huge things in a jiffy. I think I will someday do something really crazy overnight. As such, I recall, most of big shocks or so called events in my life happened overnight only.

I got my first boyfriend overnight..just like that out of a drunk confession. I did some crazy near death thing overnight- actually I wasn't really awake to know what happened. I’ve also found myself randomly out of nowhere in a police station overnight, I got mugged by a strange turn of events on highway..just overnight…and last I checked, I lost my boyfriend too overnight….just like that, overnight, following a brief call I was single. No intimation or upcoming rift…Wooshh…single. O.V.E.R.N.I.G.H.T.

Without getting into intricacies of how I feel about my overnight mishaps, I would say I like them, though the track record sucks. Just one good thing of most of what I recall. Anyway, it was about leap year and not nights. I like leap years. They are special. Though they may be taken as a clear manifestation of compromise. They are like..

” Okay if you don’t want it, you don’t want it and you too don’t want it, I will take it” They take brunt of killing a perfect matrix of February. I wonder why it’s called a leap. A leap to account for extra time we have or a leap to blame on the bad mathematics which could not make a calibration that would make 364-1/4 a whole number of day and make things perfect..but yeah perfect is no fun, nor will they separate better from rest. Leap years are those better beings which accept delta to make things near perfect.

This delta is very important by the way. I learnt its importance all my life and now it became apparent in business with delta hedging.

Most of our good regrets are based on delta between what we got and what we wanted. A delta more marks in exams, a delta push in time, a delta more love in person and or a delta more fine. A delta bit of circumstances, a delta of more effort, a delta luck or delta more trust….and its more difficult which you are delta short than when you need delta more. This may sound same but there’s a delta variation and that actually makes all the difference! Its a pea of a princess…

This takes me to my last wacky wish, which was to get married on 29th Feb in Vegas. This has to be fun. Also, going by the tradition that women may propose marriage only on leap years, this was so fitting, I could have pulled off the unconventional provided the man I wooed was at least half as much in love and equally crazy. Now it doesn't look possible considering its 29th Feb tomorrow and I don’t see anything happening…unless it is overnight! So period. I am not getting married on 29th Feb…Sigh…

Okay so next event is I can have a baby on 29th Feb 2020. Sounds super cool, the first baby can be a 2020 baby!I think this I will be able to pull off … Let’s get a leapling baby!
